Master Vibration Analyst Training & Certification

Part 2 Classroom Course

Part 2 of the course covers four days and will be delivered in a classroom environment. Quizzes will be performed during the course in
order to gauge comprehension. It covers measurement, analysis, dynamics, and balancing of turbomachinery. Topics will include
proximity probe and casing measurements, orbit and centerline plot analysis, rotor dynamics (natural frequencies, modeling), journal
bearings (design, fluid film instabilities), and flexible rotor balancing. The course will also cover torsional vibration.
Note that this course is designed for people who have come up through the Category I, II, III development process; it is not necessary to
have a degree in advanced mechanical engineering or dynamics we will take a very practical approach. Utilizing advanced 3D animations
and software simulations, topics that were possibly beyond the reach of many vibration analysts will be far easier to understand. The aim
is to provide the level of knowledge that enables the vibration analyst to understand these topics to a high degree, with the expectation
that if advanced analysis, design modification or modeling is required, a specialist in those areas will be called-in.
